AS Roma Stunned by Unexpected Defeat Against Cagliari

Cagliari secured a strong performance with a 1-0 victory over AS Roma at the Unipol Domus during the 14th matchday of Serie A. Under the guidance of Fabrizio Pisacane, the Sardinians played in a 3-5-2 formation, balancing midfield strength with quick transitions. The match remained closely contested, but Gaetano broke the deadlock in the 82nd minute, scoring the only goal and providing a crucial win for Cagliari. Roma, managed by Gian Piero Gasperini and set up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, missed several opportunities, particularly through Soulé and Pellegrini, but couldn’t find the finishing touch to equalize.

The sending off of Çelik in the 52nd minute clearly hampered the Giallorossi in the second half. This victory allows Cagliari to climb to 14th place, moving away from the relegation zone and reigniting their survival hopes. On the other hand, Roma missed a significant chance to close the gap at the top of the table, remaining in fourth place and losing an opportunity to strengthen their position for European qualification.
